Had to give a mother formula samples yesterday afternoon.
WIC office closes early on fridays (of course it does) and stores are all out of formula from people hoarding.
Mother is on an antibiotic she shouldn't breast feed for a resistant UTI (culture proven). I have three antibiotic choices. Two she can't breast feed on and one that she is allergic. Sooo, luckily I had some samples and my nurse stayed late for the mother to come pick up.

Stop hoarding dumb dumbs.
Panic causes actual harm.
Not formula, but Denmark have the right idea. You can buy one hand sanitiser at normal price, if you want another it's like $95.

The UK is like the same size as New Jersey. The per capita death rate is alarming as fuck in comparison to what we have here. Fucking Boris Johnson and fucking chavs who couldn't stay out of bars.

Continuous play like in rugby and soccer or do you stop after every tackle like in American football?
Not like American football at all. Probably most similar to rugby in that regard but long stretches of the game can look almost like soccer with no break in play for several minutes. Other times it can look like rugby scrums with the umpire constantly having to intervene to get the game flowing again. There's a thing called a 'mark' which comes from Gaelic football that makes it not directly comparable to the other sports. You still have free-flowing play, but when you kick it more than 15 meters and a teammate catches it cleanly, then the other team can't tackle you (as long as you don't move off your line).

Marks are the coolest part of the game. People talk about it being 'tough' but it's less tough than rugby or American football (can be more scary in certain situations though). Taking one of these is one of the best feelings you can have in sport and I played a lot of different sports when I was younger (a few marks in the video are are actually pretty shit, but most are worthy of the title).

Kudos to your nurse for putting in the extra effort in a time of need.

She's a boss. Was doing all of that At the end of the day on Friday. Stayed late and had the mom come meet her at the clinic. I was super proud of her.

She deserves a raise. Can you promote her to doctor? Does it work like that?

Did you give her a condescending pat on the head?

Per capita UK wise compared to the US, the UK is fucked death rate wise.

New York have been a bunch of twats sitting on this.

California seems to be on a bit of a plateau, not to say that won't change.

They are still playing Aussie Rules football (I bet today will be the last day) and apparently they're showing it on Fox Sports 1 in the US because you've got literally no other sport to watch.

Watching a game that makes no sense to you being played in an empty 100,000 seat stadium would be fucking weird, but the game is as awesome as it is retarded once you start to understand it a little.
I love the semaphore-style signalling from the officials and the post game team victory songs. The whole package is first rate entertainment.

Some of the songs are from the 1900s, 10s and 20s. And some aren't bad little tunes - because obviously copyright infringement was less frowned upon back then, so they just ripped off the tune of a popular song and added new lyrics.

Almost all of the songs are actually American. I shit you not, one of the songs is literally the US Marines official hymn - and they only stole that one for a new team in the 1990s. Adds a nice little theiving convict touch to the national game.
